NEARLY DROWNED
BY GARDEN HOSE
Typical Trick of Small Boy
Almost Causes Death at
Waynesboro Home \
Waynesboro, Pa., Aug. 7.
Charles, Jr., the little son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Stoner, came very near
demonstrating that it is possible to
drown on dry land, with no stream,
pond, well, rain barrel or bathtub
anywhere in sight. It may be accom
plished with the garden hose.
Yesterday afternoon the little boy
and his small sister, Alberta, were
sprinkling, or about to sprinkle, the
lawn. Charles was at the nozzle end
and Alberta went back to the spigot
to turn the water oh. Meantime
Charles, boy fashion, put the end
of the nozzle into his mouth. As he
did so, the water came rushing
through the hose line and with such
force that it ran down his throat,
into his windpipe and filled up hts
lungs. He was completely strangled
and fell over to the ground in
paroxysms, and in a moment ho lost
consciousness. His father, for
tunately nearby, rushed to the boy
and, turning him head downwards,
shook him vigorously. The water
ran out of the little fellow's lungs,
respiration came back and he re
vived. Another minute and failure
to do the right thing at the right
time, the boy would have died.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
WEST SHORE NEWS
BURGESS WANTS
MORE PRESSURE
Worinleysburg's Chief Magis
trate Refuses to Sign Ordi
nance For Water Plugs
At none of the three borough
council meetings of New Cumber
land, Wormleysburg and West Fair
view, held last night, was the pro
posed question of annexation t6
Harrisburg discussed. The sentiment
of the citizens of the West Shore
is almost jvholly in favor of the
move, but in spite of this the coun
cils last night failed to take any fur
ther action on the question.
The session at Wormleysburg in
cluded a row between Burgess J.
Fred Hummel and council over the
ordinance which requires the Rivor
ton Consolidated Water Company to
Install and maintain plugs In the
town. The burgess refuses to sign
the ordinance because he claims that
the borough would be the loser if
the ordinance goes into effect with
out the water company seeing that
sufficient pressure would be turned
into the lines. Council maintains
that the company would provide the
necessary pressure in order that firo
would be able to be fought effec
tively.
The state traffic ordinance wus
passed on second reading and the
question of placing a bridge over
Second run and River alley was
referred to the street committee,
which includes H. R. Boose, A. J.
Wright and J. G. Shaeffcr. Council
is in favor of building a wooden
structure instead of a concrete one
at this place.
The resignation of Raleigh C.
Sparrow was accepted. Sparrow has
been a member of council for the
last two years.
An ordinance was also presented
by John K. Neldhammer to see the
Valley Railways Company in regards
to having the conductors call the
correct names of the streets where
the cars stop instead of coined ones.
The New Cumberland council pro
vided for a complete revision of the
traffic rules of the borough at the
session last night. The ordinance
providing for a speed limit of fifteen
miles an hour, and the installation
of street markers was passed on sec
ond reading.
